Are pre-treatment slopes visually parallel?
Do event-study leads (k<0) sit near 0?
Is 2×2 close to the TWFE β?

Dots are β_k point estimates. The light-blue band is the 95% CI (area between lo and hi). If pre-period dots' CIs overlap 0, parallel trends looks ok.

\n Good class flow:\n

Cross: move bias ≠ 0 then set to 0; stress levels ≠ causality.
Time: drift on/off; note timing isn’t randomized.
DiD: start Δ = 0, then violate; check leads and 2×2≈TWFE; finish with interpretation.

\n Talk tracks:\n

We only teach parallel trends (no need for other assumptions today).
Event-study decomposes \"post\" into relative time; leads test pre-trends.
